Trees for Life

VanDusen Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory exist today due to substantial donations made by W. J. VanDusen and Prentice Bloedel forestry magnates who shaped BC’s economy: both were fortified by community support and all were committed to the botanical nature of these projects.

The Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association Trees for Life fundraising program supports VanDusen Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory.

Funds support: environmental education programs; volunteer services such as guided tours; funding the gardens’ collection; supporting our botanical library; and environmental education research.

You will receive a charitable tax receipt for gifts of $20 and over.

  • +Adopt-a-Tree Program

    VanDusen Botanical Garden has many trees available for adoption. The VBGA’s Adopt-a-Tree program provides an opportunity for you to form a personal relationship with a tree that has a special meaning for you in the Garden. Trees may be adopted to remember a loved one or celebrate a significant event. With a donation of $3,000, you can adopt a tree for 10 years.

    In response to COVID-19 and the restrictions placed on Garden access we have developed a new Adopt-a-Tree viewbook that contains profiles for each available tree at VanDusen Botanical Garden. Learn more about our Adopt-a-Tree program.

  • +Gifts of Securities

    A donation of publicly traded securities (stocks, mutual funds, and bonds) can be one of the best ways to give to the VBGA. When you donate securities directly to us, you can eliminate the capital gains tax and you can give more! Not only do we put to use the full value of your gift but we will also issue you a tax receipt for the full market value of the securities.

    This is a great way to give more to your favourite charity without increasing the real cost of your giving.

    Before making a donation of securities, we recommend you contact us and your financial advisor to discuss your specific situation. VBGA requires a completed Authority to Transfer letter sign by you. This document will be used to inform VBGA’s financial advisors, CIBC Wood Gundy, of the transfer.
